Brighton 05 June 3, 2005

Phil came to visit on over the Bank Holiday, on his way back to France. It’s always good to see him and this time we actually managed to achieve something….albeit watching two movies (TheMotorcycle Diaries and Swimming Pool) and a trip to Brighton. Anyway, Phil seemed really keen to go back to his old Uni stomping ground and I’d never been so…..

Overall, I liked the place, though it’s not somewhere I can imagine living. I just miss the smog of London town. Still, it’s very walkable and there are lots of nice places to go: the pier, the pubs, the coolest T-shirt shop of all time (Cookie Monster! random anime T-shirts! Godzilla!) and lots of places to buy pear drops!! I’ve been looking for these sweets for ages….

However, I still can’t believe I had to pay £17 return for the privelage of a 1hr delay! British railways suck!
